Frequently asked questions
What is a delivery note?
A delivery note (or packing slip) is a document that accompanies goods to a customer, listing exactly what is in the shipment with quantities. It is signed by the customer on receipt to confirm delivery.
How is a delivery note different from an invoice?
A delivery note confirms what was shipped — no prices, no payment request. The invoice that follows requests payment for the goods that were delivered.
Do I need prices on a delivery note?
Usually no — prices belong on the invoice. Some businesses include them for internal handling, but the customer expects to pay against the invoice, not the delivery note.
Can I reference the PO and invoice?
Yes — and you should. Quoting the PO and the eventual invoice number on the delivery note makes reconciliation simple for the customer.
